Probably most important, it feels kind of cheap. I knew when I ordered it that it wasn't real wood, but I guess I was expecting a reasonable attempt at veneer--it's actually made of plastic. Also, although it is capable of being plugged into the wall, it doesn't come with the plug, so you'll need to rely on batteries (as Sarah pointed out on 3/25, above) until you find an adapter. I don't want to suggest that the folks at Dutch by Design are at all misleading about the product. In fact, it might make sense to buy it for 25 GBP if you're earning Pounds. But it's hardly worth the $45 that converts to. A few things to know about Dutch by Design’s Back in Time clock. Probably most important, it feels kind of cheap.

Love your suggestions for alarm clocks. I've actually been looking for a plug-in because similar to the last reader's comment I worry about the battery life. Also, check out the "puzzle alarm clock" at www.bimbambanana.com - add a little fun and mental challenge to your mornings..haha Hi! Love your suggestions for alarm clocks.

Who, in this day and age, can afford to have the batteries run out on them and oversleep for work? Not I, and for that I am so sad.
